It was before 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the recent tennis, waiting around for the next telephone call to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Haresfinch and put the wrong fuel in a diesel wife's Isuzu Amigo lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Merseyside well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Merseyside for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
